Officially launched at Albany's Camp Quaranup by Regional Development Minister Alannah MacTiernan, GSCORE aims to help make the region the adventure capital of Australia by promoting growth in the outdoor recreation industry.

GSCORE aims to create a vibrant and sustainable outdoor recreation sector in the Great Southern through innovative training, business support and strategic planning services.

GSCORE will position the Great Southern as a hub for outdoor education and active leadership, driving education visitation and job creation in the training sector, including the growth and expansion of the tertiary sector and creative partnerships with the commercial sector. The centre should also attract international students to the region.

"GSCORE is community, industry and government collaboration that has achieved a winning outcome for residents in the Great Southern.

"The facility has great potential to develop and host major sporting events and activities including those targeting interstate and overseas visitors, adding to the region's growing tourism strengths."
